RESULTS & OBSERVATIONS
Repair journal
Add an entry as you work. Earlier results stay in the history; use a new entry for corrections.
BOARD PHOTOS
Capture reference material
Save the originals while the board is accessible. Photos stay private to this repair. A reference candidate is a reminder for later review, not a published board reference.
